SEB-Wiley-TPJ awards for outstanding papers published in TPJ in 2018.

Abstract

I am very pleased to announce the winners of our annual awards for the outstanding papers published in TPJ. These are voted for by the Editorial Board from a long list drawn up from citation-, download- and altmetric-scores. As well as the main awards for each type of research article published by TPJ, this year we have also awarded prizes to outstanding papers in which the first author was a PhD student at time of submission. The first authors of each outstanding paper will receive free membership of the SEB for one year. The student first authors will also receive free registration at this year's SEB annual meeting in Seville. All authors will receive an award certificate. The list of prize-winning papers is below. Congratulations to all authors of these truly excellent papers. #Lang, D., #Ullrich, K.K., Murat, F., Fuchs, J., Jenkins, J., Haas, F.B., Piednoel, M., Gundlach, H., Van Bel, M., Meyberg, R., Vives, C., Morata, J., Symeonidi, A., Hiss, M., Muchero, W., Kamisugi, Y., Saleh, O., Blanc, G., Decker, E.L., van Gessel, N., Grimwood, J., Hayes, R.D., Graham, S.W., Gunter, L.E., McDaniel, S.F., Hoernstein, S.N.W., Larsson, A., Li, F.-W., Perroud, P.-F., Phillips, J., Ranjan, P., Rokshar, D.S., Rothfels, C.J., Schneider, L., Shu, S., Stevenson, D.W., Thümmler, F., Michael Tillich, M., Villarreal Aguilar, J.C., Widiez, T., Wong, G.K.-S., Wymore, A., Zhang, Y., Zimmer, A.D., Quatrano, R.S., Mayer, K.F.X., Goodstein, D., Casacuberta, J.M., Vandepoele, K., Reski, R., Cuming, A.C., Tuskan, G.A., Maumus, F., Salse, J., Schmutz, J. and Rensing, S.A.
